I bought two boxes of slides for a craft project from Turnip Green Creative Reuse thinking they were empty. Turns out they are old photos—likely a service member overseas. The little I can make out definitely has men in uniforms and possibly some type of street market in an Asian country.
I’d love to look at them but not enough to buy a slide projector.
Any ideas? Does anyone know where a working one might exist that I can inquire about or borrow?
Thank you!

2023.02.19 21:12 worldclassmathlete Kodak Luma 400 - Light And Compact Projector, But Does It Justify Its Price?

Kodak Luma 400 - Light And Compact Projector, But Does It Justify Its Price? The Kodak Luma 400 is an excellent portable projector that shines in certain areas while falling short in others. Its tiny, lightweight form makes it ideal for carrying around; you'll almost surely find room for it in your knapsack. The gadget is also quite simple to set up and includes an easy-to-use operating system and a remote that doesn't bog you down with a plethora of needless buttons.
The Kodak remote mobile app is even better. It makes it simple to view your favorite streaming services. You may also utilize the projector to improve your mobile gaming experience with screen mirroring. Sadly, the Kodak Luma 400 falls short where it counts. We would have wanted to see more visible enhancements to the projector's images and audio for the price ($450 / £450).
The 720p image is OK, but the lack of HDR functionality and poor brightness means you'll have to wait till it's rather dark to watch things at a reasonable size.
Furthermore, even in complete darkness, nocturnal sequences of films and shows seen with this projector might be very hard to follow - the actors and environment become unintelligible forms due to the inadequate contrast. Using the Kodak Luma 400 at maximum brightness can assist, but you'll run out of battery life. You'll be lucky to go through a feature-length film if you can't plug this into a power source.
To put it plainly, the audio is likewise subpar. Even a low-cost Bluetooth speaker can significantly increase the music quality, but it's a pity you have to sacrifice mobility to pay for what should be a basic function.

Price and Availability
The Kodak Luma 400 is available for $450 / £450in the United States, and the United Kingdom.
This is significantly more expensive than its predecessor, the Kodak Luma 350, which sells for roughly $330 / £300.However,it is less than half the cost of the Samsung The Freestyle portable projector ($899 / £999).
It's not a ridiculous asking price. However, it might be difficult to explain the price rise over the Kodak Luma 350 because it's not much of an enhancement in most ways. The Luma 400 is 50 lumens brighter and has a higher quality image. Although, for many applications, saving some money may be a better option than purchasing the newest Kodak projector.
Buy Now at $449.99*(US/MX/CA)
Buy Now at £449.99*(UK/EU)
Design
The projector head of the Kodak Luma 400 is fairly sleek, with an almost sci-fi look evocative of a Star Wars droid and pretty close to the Luma 350. Unfortunately, the projector's stand feels quite plasticky, undermining the device's considerably more expensive appearance. The stand at least offers superb articulation and support, which more than pays for its lack of fashion.
In terms of more practical design components, the projector head incorporates various connectors and controls. On the sides, there's a focus wheel and an on/off button, with menu options on the top.
Ports
A 3.5mm audio outlet for headphones and speakers, a USB-C charging port for the projector, a USB connector to connect to a USB stick or charge your smartphone, an HDMI port, and a DC charging cable port are located on the rear. Given that the Kodak Luma 400 intends to be a portable projector, this number of ports is it is more than plenty for the number of devices you'll want to bring with you.
Compact Size
Given that Kodak's portable projector is thin and compact. The head measures 4.9-inch x 4.9-inch x 1.26-inch and weighs just 636g (1.4lbs) with the stand. You'd have room to bring along additional media devices, all of which would help you create a reasonably competent cinema setup.
Connectivity
For those who despise cords, the Luma 400 has a Bluetooth connection. This lets you connect to other devices such as speakers and enhance your Kodak Luma 400-powered movie experience.
Remote Controller
The Kodak Luma 400 controller is likewise pretty good quality. Its minimalistic button layout provides you with precisely what you need and a little more. The one significant concern is that it does not light up, making it hard to see what you're doing in low-light situations.It's recommended to utilize the Kodak Luma remote software on your smartphone to solve this problem and increase the projector's general functioning.
Features
Rather than Android TV, Kodak uses Android OS 9, an open-source edition of Android. The operating system is simple to use and provides compatibility for several of the greatest streaming services available, such as Netflix and Apple TV.If you don't want to log into all of your subscriptions on a new device, you may wirelessly link your smartphone to the projector and cast what you're watching onto the big screen. This is accomplished using either Airplay on an iPhone or iPad or the screen mirroring capability of the Kodak Luma remote software.
Mirroring also enables you to project games and apps, which adds additional value to projector casting choices, which are normally related to video services. Because it must be utilized in a range of diverse contexts, a portable projector must be adaptable. As a result, the Kodak Luma 400 includes a plethora of simple-to-use options that allow you to configure the projector to best fit your viewing needs.
The digital zoom allows you to generate images that are precisely the appropriate size for your monitor. Manual keystone correction allows you to mold the screen to the desired form. Also, the focus slider maintains the image as clearly as possible. There's also the opportunity to choose multiple projection settings based on whether your projector is behind or in front of the display, as well as whether it's on the ground or suspended from the ceiling.
Battery Life
You can also choose different brightness settings. However, even in Eco Mode, you'll want to carry a portable charging pack if you're going to be using the Kodak Luma on the road.
The projector fell well short of Kodak's 3-hour battery life. If you're planning to utilize this projector to add a movie night to your next outdoor adventure, you might be disappointed - especially if you want to crank up the brightness.
Picture and Audio quality
In a nutshell, the image quality is poor. Most people nowadays are watching movies and TV shows at 1080p, if not 4K. Returning to the blurrier 720p might be startling, especially if you're watching at a maximum screen size of 150-inches.
Given that this is a portable projector, a resolution decrease is to be expected. However, there are cheaper small choices that perform just as well as the Luma in this respect. The Kodak Luma 400, which is more expensive than comparable versions on the market, provides more bang for your dollars.
Furthermore, with just 200 lumens of brightness available, you'll need to watch in a dark area or bring the projector nearer to the screen if you want to see what's going on.
The audio quality of the Kodak Luma 400 is awful. The sound has a really flat, empty tone to it, which dampens even lively melodies.
However, utilizing an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker is more than adequate for improving audio performance. Also, the audio jack works well as well if you're interested in the more personalized experience that wearing headsets provides.
Conclusion
If you need a portable projector that is as light as possible, enables both built-in streamings, and provides the added clarity and visual sharpness that 720p provides, even with soft focus, the Kodak Luma 400 is a more than the respectable alternative. Its tiny size and lightweight construction make it a simple addition to your next outdoor adventure. However, if you're on a strict budget or looking for a high-performance choice, you might want to look elsewhere.

I’m thinking the switch had gone bad. It’s difficult to test while inside so I’m taking it apart anyway to do that much, but does anyone have a repair and service manual for this model, or have taken one down completely that can tell me the best way to get it out to see if it’s repairable?

2023.02.14 00:13 Silent_Personality34 Noob question: Aspect Ratio, Tilt (keystone), building a screen.

Hey there, I just got a Kodak Luma 350. I have it mounted to the ceiling and is throwing about 7 feet from my wall. The maximum width the screen I want to build can be is 48". I did the math and I'm pretty sure the hight needs to be 27" to fit that the aspect ratio of 16:9. The tilt is pretty drastic, at atound 45 degrees. The Luma can handle it. The image doesn't stretch and the top and the bottom both seem to be the same length.
The Strange thing is that the more I mess with the tilt, it looks like I can make the height longer than 27" and nothing looks stretched or distorted. Why is this? Should I just make sure to trust the aspect ratio and build a 16:9 screen at 48"x27"? (probably) Or should I try to maximize my height?
Trusting the ratio seems to be the best way because the spots for the projector and screen are not permanent and I'm using useful materials. I don't want this setup to just be something that only works well in this specific situation (angles, distances, ect).

Bonus question, does anybody know where to get a good bendy/fexible yet stiff stand/mount that will hold the Luma in place? Maybe something with plenty of adjustability? Are projector mounting holes somewhat universal? I'm imagining something like a DSLR camera screw mount.

Thank You!

Hello projectors. I know the luma is a bit outdated and probably not worth putting much effort into but, trying to wirelessly screen mirror or casting does not work well and whenever I try to factory reset the device it does not say there’s an update available via wifi. When I go to download the update on the Kodak website to update the device via USB, the link for the download seems to be disabled. Does anyone have any experiences with this device or have any ideas where I can find the most recent update?

2023.02.06 06:27 Haunting_Tale_5150 [Disney Theme Parks] Mission: Space - Disney's Greatest Mistake

No crying until the end

- Mother 1 commercial
If you ask any Disney fan what Disney's greatest mistake was, there will be a variety of answers, from creating a horror ride in a family park, replacing a beloved attraction with something half rate, or perhaps doing something that is very unfortunate in modern landscapes.
However, if you ask park fans, there's one specific ride that is argued the worst closure in Disney history. A ride that is said that the closure and subsequent replacement created more unhappy guests than if it were just left alone. A ride that still has a growing fanbase that request its return.
This is the story of Horizons, why it closed, and the followup that is considered Disney's greatest mistake.
Fair warning, there will be some heavy topics further down below.
Carousel of Progress
In order to understand the story of Horizons and Disney's relationship with General Electric (GE) we have to go back to the World's Fair.
After the initial success of Disneyland, Walt Disney wanted to expand Main Street USA to create a new land called Edison Square. One of the highlight attractions of Edison Square was an animatronic show that showcased the history of electricity, which would have been sponsored by GE. This show and the land never came to be due to the technology Walt wanted not existing yet. However, the idea always stuck in Walt's mind.
In preparation for the 1964 World's Fair, GE approached Disney wanting to sponsor an attraction. Walt decided to pull out his old plans for Edison Square to create the show he wanted to bring to reality. This show would transform into Carousel of Progress.
Carousel of Progress starred a family: John and his wife Sarah, their daughters Jane and Patricia, their son James, the grandparents, the kooky uncle Orville, the family dog, and family parrot. The "Progress Family" would react to the changes in technology across four eras in America: the turn of the 20th century, 1920s, 1940s, and the future/present. Each era takes place in one of the four seasons in order to add additional variety to the show. The family's reactions to technology would both be positive and comedic to add a human element to the show while still inspiring optimism on how much technology has genuinely improved lives. Each scene was also segmented by the ride's theme song, Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, which was written by the Sherman Brothers. Here's a video to show what the show is like in its current form.
Carousel of Progress was an immensely popular show, 72 million people reportedly waited in line to see the show when it first premiered at the World's Fair. So it only made sense to bring it over to Disneyland. Since there was no room for a members lounge for GE in the building that ended up being completed for Tomorrowland, the plan was made to have an exclusive members lounge in New Orleans Square. This would bring the birth of Club 33.
By 1972, GE felt Carousel of Progress had played out in the West Coast, but with Disney wanting to keep it alive proposed to move the show to Disney World. GE agreed, but only if there was a new theme song, and so Carousel of Progress was moved and it got a new theme song. Something that might be blasphemous of the Disney fans of today, who know only "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", but it happened.
Anyway, in 1979 after the contract runs out with GE on Carousel of Progress, GE agrees to sign on the contract for an up and coming ride for EPCOT called "Century 3". Century 3 was going to be about the positive progress humanity had between 1976 and 2076. Over time the concept would grow and change and become the experience guests know as...
Horizons
Horizons was created by a grand number of famous imagineers that had all either worked previously on popular Disney attractions or were going to. The sponsor, GE, allowed those imagineers freedom of expression with the ride. Something that was lacking with other EPCOT rides at the time, even Journey into Imagination had to have the green dragon become purple in order to not remind people of the sponsor's competition. In fact, GE and Disney were on the same page on what they wanted the attraction to be, a showcase of the promise of the future of technology and not just a showcase to sell GE's newest fridge or whatever. GE didn't just put in input for the ride's scenes either, many of the ride's mechanics, animatronics, and more were created by or with the help of GE. All the perfect pieces were in place to create a wonderful ride.
There was a few things that the ride wanted to achieve. The first was a push to give families a focus, to showcase in the future families could be brought closer by technology and, most importantly, families would still be important. At the time, there was worries families would diminish during the future, so the goal was to reassure people that would not be the case. There was the idea that Horizons would bring all the ideas/focuses brought across all the other EPCOT pavilions into one ride, the "Avengers" of theme park attractions. During my "written ride through" later, we will see how each pavilion throughout EPCOT was represented within Horizons. There was also a big push to make sure this wasn't "Buck Rodgers", there should be no flying spaceships, no laser guns, etc. This was a ride that represented achievable topics. Here's what the future could be like and you can count on it being feasible.
The building was meant to evoke two images in the guest's minds. The first was a giant grounded spaceship, the second was a literal horizon with the dark portion on the bottom representing the ground and the light portion on the top representing the sky with a blue horizon line. However, the design was also ambiguous enough anyone can view it in whatever way they wanted to. The building was huge, and not just for looks either, as the ride inside of it took up the majority of the building. Horizons was 390 ft. long and 300 feet wide, the second largest building in EPCOT, only next to Universe of Energy.
Outside of the attraction, guests could meet GERO, the GE robot, an animatronic riding around in a rocket-like device.
The thesis statement of Horizons was "If you can dream it, you can do it", a quote that was written by Sheryln Silverstien for GE. Not Walt Disney as often misattributed, even by Disney themselves. Or Tom Fitzgerald, the head imagineer of the project, as misattributed by the fandom. When exiting the attraction, guests would hear the Horizons theme song, which utilized the quote to create a catchy and inspiring song. Guests exiting the attraction would also be treated with a grand mural called The Prologue and the Promise which was created by artist Robert McCall, who was known for creating art for NASA and various sci-fi productions, such as Star Treck. The mural later got replaced by a glowing GE logo, a replacement that might be just as sad as what ended up happening to Horizons. The thesis was also placed on the entrance wall. Welcoming guests with a grand and powerful statement.
The queue was themed to a sort of futuristic airport, with various destinations being placed on a wall. Walking forward are three beautiful pieces of artwork with voice actors announcing each of the "destinations".

Sea Castle, the newest and most exciting floating city in the Pacific, invites you and your family to come away with us to the sea. Convenient daily departures by seatrain and skylift.
Mesa Verde, the most advanced desert reclamation complex in the western hemisphere, invites you to explore its wide range of career possibilities. Mag-LEV express service to Mesa Verde leaves every thirty minutes.
Brava Centauri, newest of the exciting Centauri series of space stations, offers remarkably rewarding opportunities in earth support vocations. Come up to Brava. Space shuttles depart daily.

The ride system was very unique. While many describes it as being an "omnimover", imagineer George McGinnis said it was not one. Because omnimover ride vehicles can change where they are facing, while Horizons' vehicles couldn't. McGinnis described the Horizons ride system as a "suspended gondola system", similar to Peter Pan's ride system. This caused the scenes within Horizons to be built back to back.
The first scene on Horizons was "the look back at the future", showcasing various wild ideas humanity has had about what the future looks like. When guests board, they overhear an announcement from an elderly couple.

MVO: Horizons 1 is now departing. Our final destination today - the twenty-first century.
Grandmother: Hey, that's some destination.
Grandfather: My wife's right. Wait'll you see the new towns of tomorrow. Desert farms and floating cities - even colonies in space. But you know, this isn't exactly the first time anyone's tried to make this trip. People have been dreaming about the future for centuries.

While they are talking, there are glowing clouds that illuminate the way.
First is illustrations from Jules Verne, then revealing the man himself in a capsule with a dog and a chicken. A reference to his book, From the Earth to the Moon. Then panning to the man in the moon with a rocket in his eye, a reference to the classic film A Trip to the Moon. Moving forward through the scene was a tribute to author and illustrator Albert Robida in a scene dubbed "Robida Flats". The scene was mostly based on Robida's book "The Twentieth Century", which includes flying machines and houses. Robida was a bit of a satirist, so the flying machines look slightly like fish: "flying fish". Robida Flats was done entirely in black and white, with lights helping add hues and shadows to make the decor really pop out.
The next "look back" was an art deco scene. The scene enters with a man overlooking a futuristic city with a robot butler vacuuming his carpet, moving forward another man is getting spa treatment from a multi-armed chair and on the upper story of the mansion is a woman in a bubble bath watching a performer singing Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow on TV. Then past the man getting spa treatment is a comedic reveal, a muti-armed chef/cleaning robot malfunctioning and causing a big mess, with the pet cat licking up the mess. The scene was inspired by Frank R. Paul's City of the Future illustration.
The next "look back" was a neon city, representing futuristic ideas from the movies. In the city are various screens that played clips from Metropolis, Woman in the Moon, and Magic Highway USA. Then revealing the grand landscape of the future from the 50s, a neon urban landscape with a variety of roads and futuristic vehicles that are backed up in traffic despite (or perhaps because of) the 200 mph speed limit. Originally the scene was going to be full sets, but Horizons exceeded the budget for EPCOT attractions, so the scene was cut back some to save money. However, the scene is still filled with lots of details and high tech effects. The scene also had various nods to Disney's Tomorrowland, including Monsanto's House of the Future and the Monorail.
You may have noticed something going wrong or a little comedic in each look back, adding a bit of humor to create a human, relatable element to these "far out" ideas.
The music throughout the look back to the future was different arrangements of the Sherman Brother's "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", the first hint of what was up to come.

...one of my favorite parts of the show. What made it so interesting for me was that the ideas these men had were right. - Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald discussing "The Look Back to the Future"

Next, the couple discuss the changes made that impacted the future.

Grandfather: The only difference is that today, with what we know and what we're learning to do, we really can bring our dreams to life. It takes a lot of work, but the truth is, if we can dream it, we can do it.
Grandmother: Tomorrow's horizons are here, today!
Grandfather: The DNA chain - life's molecular blueprint. Decoding its secrets is leading us to dramatically improved health.
The sun. Today we're learning ways to harness its limitless energy.
Colonies in space. Habitats where people live and work. This is no distant dream, we're at the threshold now.
A computerized view of earth - landsat photography providing vital data on agriculture, resources, and ecological concerns.
The cityscape. A living tribute to our richest resource - people.
Here's a new kind of cityscape - the microprocessor. An entire computer on a tiny silicon chip.
Crystals. Inspired by nature, now engineered by man for an ever growing role in micro-electronics.
The world of liquid space. Oceans of minerals and food ready to fuel tomorrow's needs.

The scene makes reference to a few EPCOT Attractions, the first step the attraction makes to tie the pavilion with the rest of EPCOT:

DNA Chain - Wonders of Life
Sun - Universe of Energy
Colonies in space - Never realized Space attraction
Computerized view of Earth - The Land, Spaceship Earth, or Communicore
Microprocessor - Communicore
Crystals - The Land
Liquid Space - The Living Seas

The "changes of the future" scene used ominmax screens to project the various things that the couple discussed. This was the first time ever two omnimax screens were connected together, this was also the first omni microphotography of crystals and computer chips and first use of computer animation in omnimax.
Then comes the grand reveal: the future. Specifically Nova City, the home of the couple.

Grandfather: What you've just seen are the building blocks for the future up ahead. And while it may look fantastic, remember, it's all possible.
Grandmother: That's right.
Grandfather: And we ought to know, we live there. Come on, take a look at 21st century living: on land, at sea, and even out in space. But let's start off at our place.

Turning around guests get their first glimpse of the couple, and will realize that the couple seem familiar, and indeed the couple are! They are John and Sarah^* from the Carousel of Progress, Horizons was a sequel! John is seen playing an abstract instrument, that is sort of like a synthesizer while his dog watches. Sarah is communicating with her daughter on a holographic television screen. The ride vehicle goes around the outside of the apartment, not inside, in order to not break the illusion with the Pepper's Ghost effect of the TV. There was flat-panel speakers featured in the scene, a new technology at the time. The background showcases the "hovertrain" mentioned in the queue's transport panel.
The next scene highlights some plants growing without soil in an elaborate planter, moving forward are similar plants, but these aren't the ordinary plants that most people know, they are unique hybrids: loranges, pepper cucumbers, banana pineapples, and other odd fruits and vegetables. During this scene, John and Sarah discuss their daughter's career.

John: Isn't it something! Send a city kid to college for seven years and what happens? She becomes a farmer!
Sarah: Oh, I think agricultural engineer is a little more like it.
John: (Laughing) OK, but me, I'll take the city.
Sarah: Yes, it's always exciting.
John: But hey, with today's transportation, we're just minutes away from our kids.

The scene then moves forward to an elaborate desert farm with a machine pulling up some crops. The daughter is shown controlling the machine, getting a message to be aware of weather changes in the area from her husband. Around her are screens of what she was controlling and a screen showcasing her husband. The scene pulls around to reveal what looks like a parked spaceship.

John: Look at that, will ya? A few years ago this was all barren desert. No crops, no irrigation - quite a transformation.

The Desert Farm had a strong orange scent that has become associated with Horizons by nostalgic EPCOT fans. The various plants and how they were grown were tied together with what guests saw on Living with the Land. The scene also had a roadrunner animatronic, reused from Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland.
The scene moves forward to reveal a waterfall with a bobcat trying to catch a fish, only to get splashed by it. The scene moves forward to reveal the desert home showing the husband talking to his son.
There's a hidden detail in the scene revealing an over-arching plot, someone's birthday party is being planned.

Husband: Hey, now, don't give me that bologna.
Michael (Desert Boy): Did you say bologna?
Husband: No, wise guy. But we may need to make more icing.
Michael: Ice Cream? Coming right up!
Husband: No, just candles - birthday kind.
Michael: Candies?

The fridge is voice activated by the two and constantly opens and closes during the whole conversation.
Moving reveals another girl talking to her boyfriend. The second girl is John's granddaughter. The boyfriend was played by imagineer Tom Fitzgerald and the husband was played by Pete Renaday. The imagineers found Tom playing the boyfriend amusing and nicknamed his animatronic Tom II.

Boyfriend (Tom II): Hey, come on, be serious, now. Why would I be late?
Granddaughter (Desert Daughter): You're always late!
Boyfriend: Always late? You've got to be kidding. I'm a very punctual guy.
Granddaughter: Oh, ho, now who's kidding. But, I hope you'll at least try to be on time tonight. I mean, it is a party.
Boyfriend: I know it's a party.
Granddaughter: My folks'll be here and some of our relatives.
Boyfriend: Well, why would I be late?
Granddaughter: Because you're never on time for anything.
Boyfriend: Never on time?! You must be joking. I mean, you're talking to a human clock here.
Granddaughter: Ha, ha - a human clock!
Boyfriend: Yeah.
Granddaughter: Well, if you are one, I hate to tell you, but you've been running a little slow for the past few years.
Boyfriend: Very funny.
Granddaughter: Please, don't be late. After all, it is a party.

A children's choir singing to a tune made up of "Las" make up the scene, adding to the overall chaos of the two conversations.

John: Shouldn't your granddaughter be studying instead of flirting with that beachboy?
Sarah: He is not a beachboy! He's studying marine biology there on the floating city.

The scene moves forward to reveal the "mirror" of the previous scene, the animatronic Tom II talking to the recording of his girlfriend while he repairs a futuristic spaceship-like submarine.
The ride descends to go "underwater" and reveals a swim school with a class of kids and a sea lion.

Teacher: OK class, settle down. Now we're almost ready to go. But before we do, let's review our diving rules one more time.
The seal honks and the kids laugh.
Teacher: (To the seal.) Relax, Rover. Come on kids, underwater safety's no joke. Scott?
Scott: Yes?
Teacher: Let's hear those safety rules.
Scott: Stay in your group. Keep your buddy in sight. Always check your gill apparatus for full re-circulation.
Teacher: How often, class?
Class: Every ten minutes!
Scott: Or more often!
Teacher: That's right. Now, you're all good swimmers. I'm not worried about your swimming at all and I know this isn't your first dive, but tell me, what's the most important tool underwater?
The seal barks.
Teacher: Wrong, Rover. It's judgement, you must use good judgement! And what else must you use, Scott?
Scott: Swim safely. Follow your diving rules. And ...
Teacher: And never horse around while diving. Never. Don't even sea horse around.

The scene then pans over to reveal an underwater hotel, with a restaurant and a little girl looking at a sea lion on the other side of the porthole, perhaps it's Rover from earlier. There's an octopus sitting on top of a rock and a giant sea bass outside of the building. The swim school is then spotted swimming nearby around the "floating city".

John: Floating cities ... they're amazing! I mean whole new industries have developed in them and under them. Mariculture, all sorts of marine mining, fuels, energy...
Sarah: And fun! Remember fun?
John: I'm serious.
Sarah: Well so am I. Floating cities have opened up whole new ways for people to enjoy their lives, as well as their work.

The next scene reveals an insect-like robot, presumably harvesting seaweed/kelp and ocean water. Next to it is a vacuuming robot sucking up resources to bring to the surface.

John: There's always been something sort of mysterious about our oceans. We knew they were filled with valuable gifts for us.
Sarah: Yeah, water and seaweed.
John: Very funny. But seawater has become an excellent source of energy as well as being valuable for desert irrigation. And kelp ...
Sarah: Seaweed?
John: Kelp is a tremendous source of low cost fuel. Oh, we've found lots of good things under our oceans.
Sarah: And don't forget space, we've found lots of good things out there, too.

Even our optimistic narrators get a little grumpy sometimes.

- tomorrowsociety.com discussing the odd tone of the underwater scene
The next scene portrayed outer space living. The scene pans over a star field to a grand score before revealing a space station in the distance and an astronaut working on something with the assistance of someone up in a pod.

John: These space colonies are out of this world. Let's take a quick look around.

The scene passes by a spaceship in a neon containment area, then passes by the overarching space colony. The space colony has a hidden Mickey/Space Mountain all rolled in one. Perhaps a space Disneyland?

Sarah: Now there's the new frontier.
John: Our son and his family wouldn't live anywhere else. Hey, maybe you and I ought to move up here.
Sarah: Oh, what a wonderful idea!

The scene then pans into the interior of one of the space homes. A girl is seen exercising on an exercise bike upside down while watching a screen showcasing her green bike path. Moving forward there's shadows of people floating around playing space basketball and a giant machine labeled "Health Scan". Then the next scene shows a family floating in a space shuttle.

Tommy: Hey mom! Mom!!
Tommy's Mom: What is it, Tommy?
Tommy: Look, mom, I'm flyin'! Why don't you try?
Tommy's Mom: (Laughing) I don't know what I'm going to do with you. Don't let go of Napoleon! We don't want to lose him.
Tommy: Hey mom, what if he just floats away?
Tommy's Mom: He won't.
Tommy: Hey mom, what if I just float away?
Tommy's Mom: Then your father will get you as soon as he manages to get your shoe.
Tommy: What about Napoleon? (Dog barks) He needs mag-shoes, too. (Dog barks again)
Tommy's Mom: Napoleon's fine.

Earlier versions of the scene had a generic teddy bear that was replaced by a Winnie the Pooh one, at least starting when GE dropped their sponsor.
The next scene shows a scientific facility collecting materials from space, a woman is shown floating in the facility pressing buttons on a machine. The television behind her showcasing an up close shot of the crystal in the center. While John and Sarah are explaining the room, they get a signal letting them know that its time to join the birthday party.

Sarah: Oh, now that's really lovely.
John: Practical too. Just think, materials from space for all kinds of industries back on earth. And that's .... (Buzzer sounds.)
Sarah: Uh, oh. We gotta run.
John: Time for our grandson's party?
Sarah: Uh, huh.
John: We'll catch up to you later.

The final true scene of the ride is the birthday party with the family singing happy birthday to John and Sarah's grandchild via holographic videos.

All: Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Davey Happy birthday to you! (They all laugh)
John: Terrific kid.
Davey's Mother: Thank you. Don't you think he looks like his Dad? And his Grandad?
Granddaughter (Desert): And his uncle. And his cousin! (Davey laughs)
All: Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Davey Happy birthday to you! (They all laugh)
Boyfriend (Tom II): Cute little kid, isn't he?
Davey's Mother: Thank you. We kind of think so.
Granddaughter (Desert): Gee, we wish you were here. We made gallons of homemade ice cream. (Davey laughs)
All: Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Davey Happy birthday to you! (They all laugh)
Sarah: Oh, he's a doll.
Davey's Mother: Thank you.
John: I think he looks a little like me.
Sarah: He does not. He's beautiful! (Davey laughs)

Then a voice over reveals the interactive element of Horizons while the vehicle goes past panels showcasing a spaceship going through space, going through the desert farm, and a submarine going through the sea.

Female Announcer 1: Attention please. Horizons 1 Earth Shuttle. Now available for boarding at Gate 22. Final boarding call for Horizons 1.
Female Announcer 2: (Beeps) Attention Horizons passengers. You are invited to choose your own flight path back to the FuturePort. Please look down at the lighted panels in front of you. Press one of the three ride choices: Space, Desert, or Under Sea. Everyone can choose, majority rules. All passengers, make your selections now.

Once guests' vote was processed, the ride would select the majority vote. If the riders didn't vote, the ride would automatically send guests to space. Then the final exit clip would play for the riders selection. Each film was made out of model sets that were filmed with a camera. How the final exit worked was a very unique integration of the ride system:

GE video projectors would throw an image onto a rear projection screen. computers would ensure the image moved smoothly from each projector to follow the car
Stood behind the screen, a seamless parade of video clips would be seen tracking across the 50ft long, GE-made, lexan screen
This would have been virtually impossible with film based projection
7 projectors threw the rear projection image onto the lexan screen
Around the projectors was a chain of 20 screen surrounds, travelling at the same speed as the omnimover system
One frame would line up with each ride car to shield the image from surrounding vehicles. a fold out wall also blocked the view from adjacent guests
Cutting edge for 1983, the chosen journey would be shown to each car in isolation as the car kept moving
The show computer ensured the correct video followed the correct car at the correct speed from projector to projector

- Martin's Vids

John: Well, we're almost back from the future.
Sarah: Oh, it went by so quickly.
John: Yes, but one of the nice things about traveling into the future is that the journey's just beginning.
Sarah: That's right.
John: And I'll tell you something ... if we can dream it, we really can do it. And that's the most exciting part.

If you want a little more, check out Martin's vid on the ride, which includes details on how the ride system worked, a bit of the history, and various angles of show scenes. For more on the little details on the ride and surrounding the creation, check out the Retro Walt Disney World Podcast Episodes on it. For some brief "fun facts", check out Intercot's page.
The ride made for an amazing experience for guests and the imagineers working on it. In fact, imagineers loved Horizons so much, there was a plan to clone it to Disneyland, well sorta. Unlike most other cancelled rides and attractions, this plan is unique as the document outlining the experience is available online.
Now EPCOT cost Disney 1.2 billion dollars and as a way to ease the minds of nervous executives, imagineer Marty Sklar promised to clone some of the EPCOT attractions over to Disneyland. Magic Journeys and Wonders of China were brought over to Disneyland's Tomorrowland. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln had a section from The American Adventure, the Civil War segment, adapted into the animatronic show. The finale song from American Adventure was also adapted into the Lincoln show to create a grander, more striking finale.
When America Sings closed, someone at Imagineering got a smart idea after the animatronics from the attraction were moved and placed into Star Tours and Splash Mountain. What if, the animatronics from Carousel of Progress were moved back into Disneyland and imagineering made a new show incorporating ideas from Horizons?
So the show would have been the same as Carousel normally is, but in the final scene guests would see the undersea habitat from Horizons. Then they are directed to the second floor where they would see recreations of the other locations from Horizons: the desert, the urban landscape, and the space colony. Unlike the ride, where guests could see, but not interact, here guests could walk around through the sets and take pictures. However, GE wanted to be seen as a forward thinking company and wanted to sponsor something new, not a retread of two old projects they already sponsored. So GE ended up sponsoring the original version of Illuminations. Perhaps if the idea went through, there would still be a version of Horizons today.
